Every time the government gives out something they call free - it turns out to be a tax. When inflation goes up, so do the taxes you pay on that item. When that apple gets transported down to you at the store, taxes are paid through the gasoline used, transportation, sales and use tax. A Democratic Senator in Washington now wants to propose raising the gasoline tax - during a recession. How stupid can politicians be to actually suggest raising taxes on Americans when they can't even afford the food at the store. November voting is coming in a few more days, make sure you know who you are voting for. What has been their spending and tax voting history. If they have voted for spending - they should not be in that office. And that goes for both Democrats and Republicans.
